• Aliases Q&A

  • Can someone fake my address with an alias?

  • No aliases must be unique, the same as primary email addresses.

  • Are aliases separate mailboxes?

  • No the mail is all delivered to the same primary mailbox.

  • Can my alias be on another domain?

  • No aliases must be on same domain as the primary mailbox, so if for example you have myemailaddress@iafrica.com as your email address you will have to create mynewalias@iafrica.com, as your alias.

  • Can I create sales@mweb.co.za?

  • No. Many addresses that may intentionally, or unintentionally seem misleading are reserved words and cannot be used as aliases.
